We rely on implicit conversions all the time, every day, in every C++ code base. We'll examine if this is really a good idea and some problems that implicit conversions can cause. Together we'll go over many examples of implicit conversions. We'll test our skills on what conversions exist and why some examples are able to compile. Hopefully we'll come to some conclusion what "good" vs "bad" implicit conversions and have some guidelines for how to proceed.
